This book was a requirement for my paramedic class (Washington State). It had every drug I needed to look up and gives detailed information about each drug, it's use, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, side effects, contraindications, side effects, and pre-hospital considerations.

However, there are some differences of opinion on some of the drug dosages and uses with my teachers, fellow students, paramedics and other drug guide manuals.

Over all I'd say a good reference, but not the end-all be-all. A useful tool in conjunction with others.

Also, it's pages are not weather resistant like other EMS pocket guides. I rarely use it in the field. However, it's been useful for other study purposes. I'd recommend buying a used copy.

I have used this book in the field and found it to be an asset. This is a must have for any paramedic. The Home Medication section in the back is the most important for me. It is hard to keep up with the new drug out now, never mind remembering what classification they are. I found this very thorough as far as medic field medications and the explanations, interactions, contraindications, etc.. for each. A must for all students.

As said in another review, waterproof pages would make this book a 5+.
